Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Laungtauk's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still moderately hot 29.3°C (84.7°F) from July's 27.5°C (81.5°F). Laungtauk, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to a pleasant 21.2°C (70.2°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
